I probably haven't translated everything correct and I am not saying piggies can eat everything the list says, maybe we can correct the list together

guinea pigs shouldnt have ice burg lettuce unless they haven't conquered using the water bottle

 

[DocDolittle]

Yes, ice berg lettuce is too watery and often times causes diarhhea. The safe lettuce to gives them includes Romaine and other lettuces a little drier.

I knew broccoli was alright...someone said it had hardly any vitamins but my pigs always used to thrive on it.

 

[DocDolittle]

Broccoli can cause gas though, so feed it in moderation.

Here is a link to a guinea pig shopping list, which became my bible when I first found it!

Thanks very much, I'll print that one out!!

 

[Marie14625]

What I like about the list, as it also gives you foods to avoid, and dangerous foods..as well as those to feed in moderation.

 

[Ly&Pigs]

The list looks pretty good from what I can tell. The only thing I saw was Savooie should be savoy and iceburg needs to come off that list. Good job translating ParanoidEv.

Oh well, I had nothing better to do anyway

 

[Ly&Pigs]

Your still appreciated ParanoidEv, you put a lot of hard work into translating that list!

 

[DocDolittle]

Yes, your's is especially extensive! I can't wait, because our summer home in Michigan has alot of wild plants about, so maybe I can use that list to find some treats to bring home to the pigs!
